Level 3 is fine (I understand) level 4 & above is not

No - not a clue; driving me mad!!

My understanding is the same as yours Katymac - child benefit is only up to and including level 3 qualifications and I would presume the Masters graduation diploma is for higher than that. Masters is accredited by CDET who state that most accredited colleges offer level 5 or 6 qualifications - though it does say most. I think you need to be confirming with Masters exactly what level their qualification is. If it is level 3 then it is the vocational equivalent of A levels but done over 3 years and that to me would seem unlikely and your DD has already got offers for courses offering the level 6 qualification.

and while I am on - congratulations to all those receiving good news this week.

Apart from anything else DDI is level 3 & DDE level 4 - so that makes it a level 4 as a minimum anyway

I guess I was just trying as she likes it so much



But decisions are looming

[Katymac]

I have to say I am fed up with the entire process right now........application forms, audition dates, auditions, letters, forms.....grrr

Totally fed up

[Lorry]

Katy please don't lose heart your DD has done so well

[Katymac]

Sorry, I just feel 'bleurgh'

Hey Congrat's to all those who are hearing the good news.

Still waiting, my daughter had her funding audition for SLP on Sunday, so still waiting....

Reserve lists and waiting it's insane lol especially as her part time job keep telling her if she wants a student transfer the forms have to be in soon..........

Oh well keep on waiting At least I am not alone in the waiting game

[cluelessmum]

We are on a different stage of the waiting game now...waiting for results so we can figure out what happens next. Dd completed exams and now we wait...I swear I am so fed up of the waiting game but nothing is in our control. Here's hoping for the best results on auditions/funding/exam results for all our performers.

DD released the Laines space in March and is just holding on to her 2 degree offers. Hoping we get results we are praying for so that she makes the conditions of at least one offer.

Good luck to all.

Let's hope the postman brings good news today !

[Lorry]

There has been some DC posting on Twitter the last couple of days saying they received a call from Laines offering DADA so bit of a nightmare for all DC waiting for calls or even letters

[ajbew]

That's not good news! DS is still waiting too

[ajbew]

Laine letter has just arrived but DS is in school. I'm not holding out much hope though as it is a thin envelope, especially if some people have had telephone calls over the last couple of days. I've texted DS but I don't know if his phone is on. The suspense is killing me!!!

[ajbew]

He just got in touch and asked me to open it. Number 6 on the boys' reserve list

I'm feeling really gutted for him!

[suesmith]

Ajbew - hang in there, my dd is in first year at Laine sadly not on Dada as we were out of income boundary although this year could have applied! Anyway one of her friends was 9 on girls reserve list and got in with a Dada so its worth waiting if its his first choice - (also Betty loves the boys ! ) Well done to everyone with offers coming in and fingers crossed for those still waiting

[Pearl]

Still no letter here!!! But I'm thinking probably a no as we haven't heard.
dd more than happy with her Urdang dada so not horrendous for us. Will see what tomorrows post brings
